Weirdly, there's no mention here of the fact that Bird littered the city with scooters that it is illegal to ride. Reminds me of the principle of "attractive nuisance" with respect to property. If someone uses something of yours in the way it is intended to be used, and they get hurt doing it, you cannot escape fault just because it was illegal for them to be using it at the time.
(you also cannot escape fault just by adding signs saying not to do the thing)
- xyzzyz 5y agoI think they are legal to ride, on the street though, not on the sidewalk.
- dahfizz 5y agoSeriously? So if a drunk guy takes my lawn mower and starts mowing my lawn, and runs over his own foot, I can be sued for his hospital bills? That is insane.
- derekp7 5y agoIf someone gets cut in your no trespassing sign, you can be sued.
- banannaise 5y agoI mean, yes, but that would be rather an extreme case. Most of these cases fall well short of drunk lawnmowering.
